First time going to Ocean City, MD. Can folks give recommendations for dining, entertainment, fun stuff to do, etc.? Is there a boardwalk? Water park? Etc. Anything you can offer is appreciated.

Also, going to be in Baltimore for a day and night after Ocean City, to go to the Aquarium. Can you recommend good, moderately priced restaurants for a dinner with family in the Waterfront/Inner Harbor area?

Phillips in Ocean City has a good buffet with a ton of variety and free parking. There is a large boardwalk one block from Phillips. The attractions on the boardwalk are mostly on the south end near the pier. If you left your car at Phillips it will be about a 30-45 minute walk south to the area where the majority of rides and games are.

Fagers Island for drinks and nightlife. Crab Bag for crabs.

Baltimore lots of chains in the harbor. Water taxi is cool. Fells point , I think that’s what it’s called, had less chains
 
Consider Little Italy and/or Harbor East to expand the dining options beyond the primarily tourist trap/chain places in the Inner Harbor.

A couple places on Pratt Street more or less across from the IH are Miss Shirley's Cafe and Pratt Street Ale House (Oliver Breweries).

Seacrets is a must. Have stayed at the Hilton and liked it. Harrison’s Harbor House is a great place to eat too. Check out assateauge state park, it’s pretty cool seeing wild ponies walking around the beach
I.

Little Italy is within walking distance of the inner harbor. If you are a baseball fan you should set aside some time for the babe Ruth museum If your a fan of dinners driveins and dives. Search the website they have featured a number of restaurants in the Baltimore area

I live in the Federal Hill area. In addition to Little Italy, Fells Point, Cross Street Market, etc. (which get congested with traffic, pedestrians, etc.) another place that is moderately priced (most entrees under $20) with a decent menu is Hull Street Blues in Locust Point. Recommend the "Tokyo Tuna". Never been high on Little Italy here although Sabatino's is not too bad.

Barracuda's isn't bad also. If you want seafood you have LP Steamers there also.

Also good choices. LP Steamers is very popular (good for seafood) but I remember waiting a long time to be served there. Maybe that was just my experience.
 
Shark on the Harbor is a great restaurant and also enjoyed the Shrimp Boat (more of a shack, but good food). Also check out the Sunset Boat Tour from OC Swim Call. Saw lots of dolphins and the owner is a real nice guy. Have fun!
 
If your willing to drive about 30 mins or so you should also go into Rehoboth DE. Great dining venues and a boardwalk for the kids as well. If you like seafood, the Henolopen Oyster House cannot be beat.
 
OC is a fun place but you will be hitting it during peak weeks for the crowds. Unless you have kids/teens who want to spend a lot of time on the boardwalk find a hotel or rent a place further away from the madness, say 50th street and north. You can always drive down or take the bus down. I also second Fagers Island, go at sunset, and also Ropewalk. Further toward the boardwalk MR Ducks by the bridge and Fish Tales on 22nd street are also good places to go for drinks and some chow.
